Man fakes his own death to avoid child maintenance payments

Here's somebody who puts the dead into deadbeat Dad! I can't imagine somebody putting this huge amount of effort into avoiding providing for his own children. But, here it is.

A man (for want of a better word) from Kentucky in the United States faked his own death to avoid child maintenance payments. The man owed over USD100k (about R2m) in outstanding child maintenance payments. He hacked his way into the death registry system and got himself listed as "deceased". He was found guilty of aggravated identify theft and computer fraud.
